legitimism

/lədʒˈɪɾɪmˌɪzəm/ noun

The principles or ideas of legitimists.

Word Origin From Latin lex 'law' — legitimism is the doctrine that lawful authority is paramount, especially in monarchy. The root legitim- comes from legitimus 'lawful.' The same root gives us legal, illegal, legislate (to make law), and even lexicon (a collection of words, originally 'law of words'). The PIE root *leg- meant 'to collect, gather,' which evolved to 'law' as a collection of rules.
